What is Dog Spies?

We are constantly spying on dogs, trying to 

figure out what makes them tick. When not

sniffing, eating or snoozing, dogs are often

spying on us! Dog Spies brings you the 

science behind this mutual fascination.

Scientific inquiry into dogs has grown

exponentially since the 1950s. This research is

vast and incorporates animal behavior

(ethology), psychology, zoology, archaeology

and genetics, among other fields.
